A classic fairy tale, with a twist, awaits readers of The Three Little Dinosaurs by Jim Harris. What happens when three young dinos are sent out into the world to build themselves houses and begin life on their own? Will they make the preparations to protect themselves from the Big Bad Tyrannosaurus Rex? Can he huff and puff to blow their houses down, or might a bucket of water somehow aide this antagonist? Children of all ages are sure to enjoy this dinosaur tale, but children in second grade and up will delight in their ability to compare and contrast these classic stories.

Take away the royal castle and immerse yourself in the Pacific Northwest’s redwood forest, filled with ancient tall trees, bright yellow banana slugs, and scruffy haired bigfoots, and you’ve settled yourself in for a hilarious twist on a classic fairy tale. When a bigfoot is the charming one all the gals are after, odoriferous is more the way to go to get his attention! Whether it is giant redwood clogs or brushes to tangle up hair, this story gives new direction to what it takes to be the belle of the ball. I think children in second grade and up will enjoy this tale.
